1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Drain-site recurrence following colorectal cancer resection is a rare event and is described in few case reports. The majority of these reports are following minimally invasive surgery. This report describes a case of an isolated drain-site recurrence of primary colorectal cancer in a male patient in his 50s. He previously underwent an open right hemicolectomy and segmental small bowel resection for an obstructing ileocaecal valve adenocarcinoma. This was followed by adjuvant chemotherapy. Two years into surveillance, a redo ileocolic resection was performed for an anastomotic recurrence. While undergoing surveillance imaging, a new deposit was detected at a right-sided surgical drain site. Subsequently, a full thickness en bloc resection was performed. To date, the postoperative course has been uneventful. This case describes a drain-site recurrence from a colorectal primary.
